Your Guide to Zoom!
Zoom is used to provide course lectures, interactions, or Online Office Hours. You can access Zoom from within Canvas, or from an instructor-provided link. You won't need a Zoom account! You will be prompted to download a plugin (for computers) or an App (for phone/tablet use) the first time you try to join a meeting.
These guides will help you be a successful participant in Zoom
Sample Canvas Course
Take an opportunity to practice participating in discussions, taking a quiz, and uploading assignments, including Turnitin assignments. It is a great way for you to see if your browser works with Canvas and learn how Canvas works before you participate in your actual course. Please note: This is a self-enrollment course so please click the "Enroll in Course" button to participate.
Online Education
Learn about the different resources available to online students at De Anza. While this orientation is designed for students taking online courses, the information will be useful to all students new to De Anza College and/or Canvas. Please note that some online instructors will require students to view this orientation.
Check your course syllabus or online Canvas Course.
